I think this is a bit hyperbolic. Someone still needs to review and test the code, and if the code is for embedded systems I find it unlikely.

For SaaS platforms you’ll see a dramatic reduction, maybe like 80% but it’ll still have a handful of devs.

Factories didn’t completely eliminate assembly line workers, you just need a far fewer number to make sure the cogs turn the way it should.
